Roughly 7 million barrels of daily oil and fuel shipments are flowing through the Strait of Hormuz, or about half of the volumes stranded at the start of the Iran war, says US Energy Secretary Chris Wright. Speaking during the Bloomberg Energy Executive Briefing in Houston on Friday morning, Wright says the US will fully reopen the waterway with or without Iran’s assistance. At the start of the war in late February, about 20 million barrels of daily shipments were stranded as the strait was effectively shut. Several million barrels were diverted to alternative ports outside the Persian Gulf, leaving about 14 million trapped, Wright says.
